Excellent. Given our ladder position across the last few years we dont have much bargaining power, so if scwabba is happy with it we must be doing ok :)

    So long as we retain the QB fixture, and so long as the majority of our home games are against Victorian teams, I'll be happy.

    I'm really hoping we don't get lots of twilight games, and I hope we don't find ourselves hosting 4 of our 10 MCG home matches against interstate clubs again. But since we are basically in a position of no power, I'm expecting more crap.

    If I was the AFL, and I was still looking for a new timeslot in preparation for the 2 new teams, I'd be looking at scheduling one Monday night match in 2010, but it would be between 2 lower drawing clubs. In 2009 they used Collingwood and St Kilda. Due to Collingwood, you can't use that match as an analysis of whether the timeslot is any good. If they picked 2 teams out of North, Bulldogs and us, they would see whether or not the public is really interested in Monday night football.

    I'd prefer to see Saturday twilight games. I think that's an OK timeslot. Given the choice between Thursday night, Saturday twilight or Monday night, I'd go Saturday twilight every time. Then, in 2012, you could have Saturdays structured similarly to Sundays (e.g. 1.10 match, 2.10 match, 4.40 match) plus night games.

    More fixture news here: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tab...46/default.aspx

    -Sydney to play Western Bulldogs twice (Hall factor)

    -There will be Monday night (after Mother's Day) as well as Thursday night football (there will be a Thursday night match in Round 14, coming out of the split round. Round 1 will also start on Thursday)

    -ANZAC day's on a Sunday, but the Essendon Collingwood match will be standalone, with Hawthorn and Fremantle hosting matches in different timeslots (twilight in Tassie, night in Perth).

    Personally I'm all for Thursdays and Mondays. Would be bloody awesome to rock home on a Thursday night and watch some footy. And Monday too. Would mean there would be only two days a week without footy. That is a good thing! The Premier League has no Friday games but they play a game on Mondays most weeks, and have mid-week rounds, and it's great. Would love four days of footy per week. Then on weeks where there is Champions League on or the Ashes or the Tour de France, or French Open/Wimbledon, it's non-stop sport, bring it on!!

    That Saturday twilight idea isn't bad, would mean you could go from 2pm through to 9pm with some match going, good day of footy that!

    From Cameron Schwab's twitter

    "First look at the draft fixture today. Can't give much away, but looks ok. Good balance of games/time slots, some big matches at the G."

    Hopefully not too many Sunday's and a couple more Friday/Saturday Nighters

    I'd rather Sunday - more likely to have other commitments on a Saturday.

    I like Thursday matches, seems to lead the weekend in well.

    Don't forget, however, that the draft of the FIXture last year was pretty good for us before we got shafted.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
